The appearance comes days after Whibley took to his website to tell fans he has been seriously ill after heavy drinking resulted in his liver and kidneys collapsing. Whibley has spent a month in hospital fighting for his life, but it is not known whether he remains under doctors’ care or has been discharged.

He previously wrote on his health battle, “If I have one drink the doc’s (sic) say I will die. I’m not preaching or anything but just always drink responsibly. I didn’t, and look where that got me.”
